Query Used
select nvl(model-manufacture,model-CAM,MODEL-schedule) as model-common
from input
CodePudding user response：
On wa is to replace empty strings with NULL with nullif
But it would be best, to save NULL
select nvl(nullif(TRIM(model-manufacture),'')
,nullif(TRIM(model-CAM),''),nullif(TRIM(MODEL-schedule),'')) as model-common
from input
